The new 133-key Hilton Garden Inn opened its doors in Saudi Arabia’s commercial centre in Jubail, Dammam. The hotel serves as a hospitality haven in the heart of Al Jubail, the industrial hub of Saudi Arabia.

The hotel’s modern form is a new visual anchor for this emerging city. Set on the Jubail Corniche near Jubail Commercial Port, the property is conveniently located between King Fahd Airport in Dammam and the Royal Commission of Jubail and its Industrial City. “The completion of Hilton Garden Inn Al Jubail marks a key moment in this district’s transformation,” says Ammar Al Assam, Executive Director, Dewan Architects + Engineers. “The hotel’s contemporary architectural expression reflects the spirit of its surroundings – a growing and constantly evolving city,” he says.

Once a fishing village, Al Jubail today is the largest industrial city in the world and is also home to the Middle East’s largest and world’s fourth largest petrochemical company Sabic. The location of Hilton Garden Inn Al Jubail makes it easily accessible to some of the key companies working on projects in the region including Sabic, Sadara, Tasnee, Petro Kemya, Maaden, Marafiq, King Fahd Industrial Port, Dow Chemicals, Exxon, Total, Schlumberger, Saipem-Snamprogetti, Halliburton and Baker Hughes.

“We have already established a strong base in Saudi Arabia in which the firm has grown well in the last 12 years,” says Al Assam. “Many of our projects in the Kingdom serve as a benchmark for future developments in the region. We are now even more excited about Saudi Vision 2030 which we plan to be a part of as we further cement our foothold in the Kingdom as leading architects and engineers.”

In line with Dewan Architects + Engineers’ ‘go green’ initiatives, Hilton Hotels recently announced its partnership with ‘Clean the World’, an organisation that collects used soaps from hotels, melts them down, sanitises them, and creates brand new bars of soap for people in need. The eight-storey hotel, located on King Faisal Street East, offers 133 spacious guest rooms; a contemporary lobby overlooking the Arabian Gulf; modern meeting rooms (Najla and Dalal); the Panorama (ladies) lounge; a stunning rooftop swimming pool with views over the Gulf. Guests can enjoy fine dining, themed buffets and weekend brunches at The Garden Grille restaurant, while the Garden Café offers snacks and beverages.
